JD Vance tells Kirk podcast listeners to confront celebrators: "hell, call their employer"

A year after Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk was killed while debating a student at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, security specialists say the aftermath brought a surge in doxing — the public release of personal information without consent. Websites appeared soliciting tips about people who posted unsympathetic reactions to his death, publishing their names, photos and employers. The Monday after the killing, Vice President JD Vance hosted Kirk's podcast and urged listeners to confront anyone celebrating the murder and to contact that person's workplace — remarks Shannon Hiller of Princeton's Bridging Divides Initiative described as an endorsement of such tactics. A doxing-prevention specialist called the outing of critics stochastic terrorism; specialists cite job losses, death threats and forced moves.
